Streaming question...If I am listening to archived Air America show, |
|
and I turn off my internet connection, is that show partially or fully loaded into my player. And as far as internet audio in general, how do I immediately know when it is a download or a stream. I feel dumb for not knowing.

...you'll need to download the entire file before listening to it. This does, however, mean that you can listen to it offline.
If it's a stream, your computer isn't downloading the file to the hard drive, but accessing it directly from the server. This means that you can't listen to it when you're not online, because your computer has no way of accessing the file.
